Current Patient FAQs

Braces

Call the office, and we will instruct you further. Sometimes it can wait until the next appointment and other times we need to see the patient to evaluate the problem.
Foods to avoid include all sticky or hard candy, popcorn, nuts, hard granola bars or chips. Also, foods that we typically bite off should be cut into pieces before eating such as apples, corn on the cob, ribs, carrots, etc.
Wax is a great temporary fix until the patient can make it into the office and have the wire clipped. There is wax in the patient kit received when braces were placed.
The patient can try to put the wire back in the slot themselves. If unable to put it back in simply call the office and we will set a time to fix the problem.
 

Invisalign

Call the office right away, and we can instruct you further. If a patient has the next set in their possession they can try to see if the next one will fit otherwise, we may need to order a replacement for a fee.
Each time you remove your aligners to brush your teeth simply use your toothbrush to scrub any residue off the aligners. If there seems to be a lot of build-up or they seem “smelly” you can soak them in hydrogen peroxide. Just make sure to rinse well before putting back in your mouth.
You can take a nail file or emery board to help smooth out the edges. If that doesn’t work or you need assistance, please call the office, and we will get you in right away to fix the discomfort.
 

Retention

Call the office to schedule an appointment for a new impression. There is a replacement fee of $75 and $25 per each adjustment if necessary.
FOREVER…We recommend every night for 8 hours to reduce the risk of teeth shifting.
Call the office to schedule an appointment to have it re-bonded. Most patients are provided a clear backup retainer for the lower; this can be worn until the patient can make it in for an appointment. If the retainer comes out completely make sure to keep the wire. There is a replacement fee if the wire is lost.
Most people will simply scrub the retainer with their toothbrush each day. If there seems to be a lot of build-up or they seem “smelly” you can soak in hydrogen peroxide. Just make sure to rinse well before putting back in your mouth.
Call the office to schedule an appointment for a new impression after the work has been completed. There is a fee for new retainers.
